It's a must-have piece of history. Also great for anyone who values a clean, versatile sneaker. Who's it "not" for? Runners, or people needing all-day, max-cushion comfort. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is a style icon, not a performance beast. On feet, these look even better. The high-top shape just does something for your whole fit—it's legendary. I’ve worn other Jordans, but the "OG 1" has this unbeatable, clean profile. The leather will crease, that's a fact. But honestly? On camera and in person, the creases add character to this Jordan series staple. It’s a vibe. Another thing – the materials. On this ‘Court Purple’ pair, the leather is decent! It’s not buttery premium, but it’s solid and should age nicely. The paint on the midsole can chip though, that's a common flaw. Just being real with you. It’s part of the deal with a lot of retros, honestly. Now, a real con? That lack of cushioning we talked about. If you're on your feet all day, these might "not" be your pick. Also, the toe box creases – it's part of the charm, but if you're a "keep 'em icy" person, it'll hurt your soul. It's a trade-off: character for perfection.
